The timeless masterpiece Les Misérables will grace the stage of Albuquerque's Popejoy Hall from February 18-23, 2025, offering audiences an unforgettable experience of love, redemption, and revolution. This Broadway phenomenon, adapted from Victor Hugo's classic novel, has captivated audiences worldwide with its soaring melodies, powerful storytelling, and breathtaking production.

Now on its critically acclaimed U.S. tour, Les Misérables continues to prove its enduring appeal. With iconic songs like "I Dreamed a Dream," "On My Own," and "One Day More," the musical invites audiences to embark on an emotional journey through the struggles and triumphs of 19th-century France. This production, helmed by Laurence Connor and James Powell, offers a reimagined staging that enhances the show's dramatic intensity and visual grandeur.

"This tour is a celebration of the resilience of the human spirit," said Connor. "Every night, we are reminded of the universal themes that Hugo wrote about - hope, justice, and the fight for a better tomorrow."

The cast brings a wealth of talent and passion to the production. Nick Castell, who plays Jean Valjean, feels that passion comes from the relatability of the story. "I believe it's the story that truly resonates with people. It's about individuals striving for a better life and a better world. This narrative weaves together themes of love, redemption, and the enduring strength of the human spirit."

The design elements of this tour are nothing short of spectacular. The dynamic scenery draws inspiration from Hugo's own paintings, creating a vivid backdrop that immerses audiences in the world of these characters. The visuals are paired with emotionally charged lighting and soundscapes. It amplifies the show's themes of despair and hope.

As one of the longest-running musicals in Broadway history, Les Misérables has inspired countless fans and artists since its premiere in 1985. The show's ability to resonate with people of all ages and backgrounds speaks to its universal message of compassion and resilience. This latest production is no exception, with its commitment to honoring the legacy of the original while offering fresh perspectives.
